Prime minister inspects restoration work
Willem III Tower restoration is in its final stage, according to 24ora’s account of Prime Minister Mike Eman’s visit to the Fort Zoutman monument. ALBO representatives Serge Pluijmen and Shannon Quandt guided the inspection. The report lists late January 2027 as the planned project handover.
Structural repairs remain central to the project
Pluijmen described work on structural cracks, a new roof, painting and replacement of wooden components. Eman thanked the workers and emphasised preservation of Aruba’s cultural heritage. The published handover date is a projection; the report does not say that restoration has been completed or that the tower has reopened.
